FLYING COLORS

Flying Colors is a modern-day parable on finding the courage to follow your dreams. More than an uplifting novel for turbulent times, it’s a great way to look at life to discover what’s most important.

John Freeman thinks he’s happy. Young and ambitious, he’s on the verge of achieving big things. But John’s world goes into a tailspin when a stranger on a flight shares a near-death experience with a shocking twist. Stunned and confused, John begins a journey to find what lifts him and resurrects a long-forgotten dream. Soon, John finds himself the student of a mysterious flight instructor whose initial lessons have nothing to do with flying planes.

Over a remarkable summer, as John struggles to unravel the secrets behind the instructor and a mystical airfield stuck in time, he becomes torn between his professional ambitions and the lure of a simpler life. But to earn his wings and soar, John must face the ultimate test of discovering his true self and what matters most.

“At home in the compelling realms of The Alchemist and Field of Dreams, Laney’s Flying Colors is richly told and impossibly vibrant. The story will stay with you long after the final page is turned.”
